My suitcases have colorful hearts and I love them. They are also easy to spot on the carousel. To each his own.

This was a fun video, thank you Marie-Anne. I normally travel in a teeshirt reserved for the flight because I find aeroplanes quite dirty and sometimes the person next to me is so large they are touching me...I always admire the ladies you describe though 😊

In that case, I don't care that it isn't stylish. I want to find it superfast on the airport carousel without danger of mix-ups. Also, the more unusual it is, the less likely it is to be stolen. Because the more unique a piece of luggage is, the more recognizable it is.

Good advice about makeup and jewellery.

You look so beautiful in that video; that hairstyle suits you well. 🎉

A garish suit case that stands is less likely to be stolen. Theives don't like to stand out. Clothing, there are some plain soft t-shirts in darks colors that are comfortable. The same can be said for trousers. Plain slip on walking shoes, boots if they don't fit in your carryon. Costume jewelry you can easily replace. Small travel hair dryer. I'm not a make-up wearing person. But there are ladies who travel for business.

Is it important to have “stylish “ luggage? Aren’t there many more important considerations? I was taught to dress in a manner to show the pilots and crew respect so I still follow that edict. But I also try to remember anything can happen on a trip and dress to be comfortable but presentable in any contingencies.

The number of times I've sat beside someone (regardless of gender) on a plane with open-toed sandals and smelly feet... Please folks, have mercy on the people that will be sitting around your feet for hours! Wear closed shoes!

On the subject of luggage - Yes, most people would agree that gaudy floral luggage is not chic. But there's another consideration, and that is, theft. The more unusual luggage looks, the less likely it is to be stolen.

Sneakers are great in case of an air disaster. They protect the feet from broken glass and twisted metal. Plus, unlike slip on shoes like flats, they stay put.

A forgiving waist band is important to me during travel. All that sitting!

A good long-sleeved tee-shirt is more comfortable on a long flight than a shirt and is likely look better at the other end in my experience, especially on the dreaded overnight trips.

If you have a generous bust, a button down shirt is not, in my opinion, the best thing to wear. Having to worry if the buttons are gaping is not ideal. It doesn't seem to matter how much fabric is in the shirt, it all ends up round the back!

My suitcade is green. Bright green. I can see it "miles away" and that is the reason I bought it! That thing will never be stolen. Point.

I have a friend who travels throughout the world. She uses soft sided luggage and her 'uniform' is cotton trousers, a tee-shirt, and designer jackets (she spends more on a jacket than I do on living expenses for a month). She always looks fabulous and comfortable in her tee-shirts.

We actually prefer soft-sided suitcases because: 1) they have outside pockets for things such as jackets, laptops, etc. which most affordable brands of hard-sided cases do not; 2) can be "squished" to fit into the small overhead bins on planes and trains; 3) are generally a good deal lighter than hard-sided ones; and 4) should you need to get something from inside your suitcase while traveling, are easier to open and access. That includes once you are in your hotel room because most hotel luggage racks will not accommodate the clam-shell design of hard-sided cases. Additionally, it is still possible for a thief to get into a hard-sided case by sticking something sharp into the expansion zipper, just as they would do with soft-sided cases. And, lastly, a colorful bag, whether, soft or hard-sided, is less likely to be picked up "accidentally" by another passenger. And, I don't think less of anyone because they have colorful, flowery bags. To the contrary, I am more judgmental of those who waste oodles of money on overpriced status luggage that can (and will) be damaged or stolen (actually more likely with expensive luggage) during travel.

Disagree about letting your hair go. Great if you have great hair, but I look like a drowned rat if I just wash mine and let it dry. Yes I have the best haircut I can afford, but my hair is old and thinning.

As a frequent flyer who doesn’t exactly pack light, I can say there is little here that I agree with. I have black, hard sided suitcases because everything goes with black. Especially if everything you buy is black. My suitcases also match perfectly with the 200+ other black suitcases going around the carousel. Flat shoes are in my suitcase because my heaviest shoes, my sneakers, are on my feet. I take a small travel hair dry because I have medium length hair with a style. Not short hair that needs no styling or long hair that can just hang. I have been caught in a hotel room with a broken dryer. I do have a cashmere wrap and agree about the blankets and pillows. Bring your own. As to white button front shirts, that’s your worst idea. After a long flight, you will look rumpled and possibly stained. The red top you have on in this video is essentially a tee shirt.Solid color tees look great dressed up with a few well chosen neck scarves. Wear a black one to fly, no stains if your seat mate spills their wine, no wrinkles; goes great with your wrap. In terms of make-up, do what makes you feel your best. On vacation you don’t want to feel like you are roughing it. For clothes and hair and make-up, wear what makes you feel great when you are out and about. And yes, leave your jewels at home. Wear and take only what won’t break your heart to lose or put your safety at risk to wear.

I do like your videos, Marie-Anne, but right now I disagree. I don't want to be stylish on - for example - a transatlantic flight, I just want to survive... :) I wear a tunic with leggings (!) because bloating isn't funny. I wear absolutely no jewelry, no make-up. I wear a big chunky hoodie (!) to give me warmth and privacy while sleeping. It's completely dark, and everyone is dealing with their own suffering, not my style :)

I've been traveling this month, and I am guilty of wearing boots on the plane. My reason was that my boots took up more space in my carry-on bag than my other two pairs of shoes together did. So wearing them on the plane seemed like the better choice.

So much of this I couldn’t agree with less. But definitely leave the bling at home 1) suitcases- hard sided suitcases with zips are as easy to break into as soft sided suitcases…they cut the zips more easily than the soft bag 2) pale luggage like that is stylish only u til its first flight. Then it gets ingrained dirt, scuffs and marks on it - hard sided dark luggage while not perfect will look stylish for much longer - look at what the aircrews use. 3) hairdryers are not at every hotel, and often they are inconveniently placed - especially the ones affixed to be wall, or they are weak, or overheat etc etc. if you use one, take one - the little travel ones are now excellent 4) make up and hair styling. Do what makes you feel comfortable, confident and beautiful- whether fully styled or not even lipstick. the only things to add, moisturise, moisturise, moisturise(especially on the plane)oh and sunscreen!!!! Remember the best way to look chic and stylish is to be confident and happy, not to follow someone else’s rules! 5) ballet flats may as well be flip flops if someone rolls a bag over your foot. So,something sturdier than a ballet flat and dark, (same goes for shoes as does for luggage 6) on a long flight button down cotton shirts are a really poor choice. By 5e time you have travelled to the airport, gone through customs and security, waited, seat belts in and off, shoulder bags, security, taxis again with seat belts crisp and stylish is not something to describe a shirt (especially for longer flights). A plain tshirt with a scarf is way more stylish. 7) but definitely agree with leave he bling at home….

Wrong! :) I've just left a 4 star hotel in Copenhagen, no hair dryer in the bathroom or room. ! It's a good job I always travel with my own, albeit a very small one - saved me many many times!

One benefit of atrociously ugly luggage: the suitcases do not get stolen.

I like soft sided suitcases, and audition the zippers, wheels and handles in person. After having someone go through my suitcase and steal items from a checked bag, I started painting kermit the frog on my luggage. No one has ever pilfered through my bags, as they assume it belongs to a child. No one mistakes it at baggage claim. While I try to be elegant, my suitcases are not. I am only with my bags briefly, and I dont mind this brief lapse of style. The bellman doesnt seem to care, either.

My "travel outfit" is, a pair of dark blue cargo pants because of the pockets. A merino long sleeve jumper, a dark blue merino cardigan. A light wrap. And sneakers. With airports getting so big nowadays I want to be able to walk to the departure gates in comfort. (Dubai airport is an example). I'm 72, but not ready yet to go on those rides that take people to the gates😅. The important thing, always look presentable but be comfortable.

A bright suitcase is easy to spot, and would be less easy to steal. Any canvas suitcase can be cut into. In this case style probably not the main factor.

Don’t forget AirTags in your luggage!

I have a set of linen knit T shirts that are a stylish and upgraded alternative to regular tees. They look great with a slim pant, flats, and pashmina shawl.

Ballet flats? Is that what you want to be wearing if you have to climb out of a plane crash? It's not a fashion show, just wear some sturdy tennies.

It’s really important to wear sturdy shoes on a plane in case of an emergency.

Good sneakers (trainers) are a must for all the walking one has to do in airports. good cushioning and arch support are necessary. Ballet flats and other slip ons are cuter, but killers for the feet.

A tinted moisturizer with sunscreen is perfect for travel!

I have had 2 checked in pieces of luggage go missing never to be seen again. I do not use black luggage and now travel with crappy, beat up suitcases that people will be embarrassed to take. I do not care. Wait until it happens to you, you will care less about looking chic to strangers when it comes to luggage.

Hmm, i used to travel with solid colour luggage, but my black one was taken by mistake on Ryanair, so for that reason, I use OTT luggage pattern. And also on my last few trips, hotels are now charging for hairdryer and iron for clothes. Good tip for cashmere though ❤

Thank you for mentioning the appropriate shoes for air travel -- I always wear shoes I could run in if there were some sort of a predicament -- going down an airplane emergency chute, trying to catch a train (love local transportation), cobblestone streets. And, please ... other passengers do not want to see/smell your bare feet! Another piece of advice: never take anything with you that would make you cry if you lost it. Oh, and no jeans -- they are murder on lengthy flights.

I think it would be great if you could do a video featuring a few stylish outfits for air travel during the spring/summer and one for fall/winter.

I believe in having fun as well as being stylish. The floral luggage is super cheerful! I don't like that particular print, but I've always wanted floral luggage. I guess it depends on your look.

I have that set of luggage. And it really is great. But sometimes I still carry a vintage American Tourister hard, grey tweed pattern round suitcase because it is so darned cool and indestructible. It's over 70 years old and still looks like the day it was bought except I had wheels added to the bottom because it weighs a lot. When I use that I carry a great leather Vespa messenger bag that I drop my purse into and can carry a toothbrush and one change of clothes in case my suitcase. doesn't make it. No blow dryer or curling iron. I have my hair in a a short American Sasoon style cut and literally shakes out, even strait out of bed. Still looks good mussy. Eyebrow pencil, a liner and lipgloss is all the makeup I use. At 62 foundation and blush and all that add at least 10 years to my face. Oh, and a nice red lipstick. Not matte. I have a great pair of suede loafers in blush that work with my jeans and make them look classier. White blouse always and a nice tank tip for underneath if I want to wear it open. I love the wrap idea! Never thought of that. But I have used a merino poncho that I crocheted (fine gauge yarn... took me forever but it's beautiful), in cream and beige houndstooth with a black cowl top that works with everything. I guess I got the what to wear to travel down fairly well. Now if only had the money to travel these days. Being of a ... ahem, Rubenesque shape... I don't want to wear ANYTHING to make me look older and fatter. Ugh. I can't believe I got something right.

Plus size women cannot necessarily buy anything they need at their destination. Especially if also short

Big nope on the hard-sided luggage. If it's got a zipper so it's just as easy to break into , its non-flexiable and there is often a lack of extrior access, even the good stuff cracks and dents, and the clamshell opening instead of top opening makes it more challenging to pack because you're really packing two small cases and not one large one, and it's hard to lay out on a luggage rack because you can't just flip it open against the wall.

I only use lightweight soft sided luggage and have never had a problem. I never liked hard shell suitcases and baggage handlers stand on them to walk over the top of a pile of suitcases.

I’m an American living in Europe. I make 2 or 3 transatlantic trips a year and a couple more domestic trips. I purposely travel wit obnoxious suitcases. Weird colors or patterns. Why? Easy to locate at the baggage counter (anywhere) and less likely to be stolen. Sorry chic does not trump common sense and practicality for me.

My husband and i are off to bali next month and just planning to take carry on luggage as our airbnb is down many steps on the beach and we are not there long. I was talking to my daughter about it when i remembered my husbands cpap machine and said it might make our carry on too heavy. My daughter suggested he wear it onto the plane so its not counted in the carry on weight. Least stylish look ever.

Thank you for your enjoyable and thought provoking video. I agree with most of it, but not the part about suitcase choices. While I want to look classy, expensive and tasteful in my attire, I don’t want my luggage to necessarily convey this. I want my luggage to stand out, scream at me and be easily distinguished from other people’s bag. Plus, if that means cheap looking, so be it. If thieves think it’s cheap looking they are less likely to grab it. I think they will more likely grab the bags that look expensive they think are much more likely to contain expensive luxury items. I am also finding that in the last year a new trend is beginning to to appear in the amenities hotels are providing. While the cost of hotel rooms have increased, many of the hotel chains are offering fewer amenities, such as the free use of irons, hairdryers, and in room coffee pot and k-cups. They are also less likely to contain free disposable make-up remover sheets, body lotions, shower caps or both a facial soap and a bath soap. I think we will probably see this trend spread to more and more hotels and much like the airlines, hotels will become more of a more bare bones operation. I think we will see hotels begin only providing basic bath soap, shampoo and a conditioner, towels, and washcloth, bed and bed linen and a television.

I have very blonde lashes, pronounced dark circles, and very pale skin. I’ve had some people ask me if I have lashes when I without mascara. So while I don’t cake my makeup on, a bit of eye shadow, mascara, lipstick or gloss and some concealer under my eyes makes me look better and healthier. My dark circles are so prominent that they look like bruises. I feel a bit pale and washed out without at least some makeup. If I was blessed with darker lashes, I’d be able to skip mascara. I think a sensible makeup application is reasonable. There are also many sweat resistant and water proof makeup products, so makeup doesn’t have to be a train wreck while on vacation.😊

Airports are the best for people watching… Always entertaining.

In America, only the most expensive high-end hotels have hair dryers in the rooms. And, using a dryer that was used on another persons hair is gross to me. Thanks, but I’ll bring my own.

After 7 decades of travel I've got it down to 501s, black turtleneck, mac or blazer, good sneakers, pashmina, black shirtdress and flats, face cream, Nuxe oil, a few toiletries, and an easy-to-spot taxicab yellow Tumi bag. Anything else I need I buy at my destination.

Don't assume that hard sided luggage is more difficult to break into than soft sided. If your hard sided suitcase has a zipper, I can get into it with a ball point pen in literally 2 seconds. Work under the assumption that ALL baggage is easy to break into, and don't pack anything irreplaceable.

I love my Kipling suitcase - it’s so lightweight and manoeuvrable, and has lasted for years. It virtually folds flat which is great for confined spaces. This was a fun video, I loved it when Marie -Anne burst out laughing 😊

Hilarious video!!!!! I agree with everything but the hair and makeup…there are so many women who are so slack in their grooming nowadays why give them an excuse to be more of a slob? Just my thoughts.

Leggings for suitcases😂

Travelling is now a days more risky and stressful.I am more concern about being self sufficient for all the unforeseen events happening lately than focussing on style.

I live in Sydney Australia and we only fly with carry on suitcases as it’s so much cheaper. A hard case suitcase can weigh to much as we have a 7 kg carry on limit. So you minimise everything and have to be thoughtful in what you pack.

wow, so many rules in life, even vacation and traveling in general. I used to think getting on and off the plane/bus/train on time without getting trampled to death was a goal. Now I have to think about style, chic and fashion? Even my luggage. One commenter said to leave the heavy makeup at home. What heavy makeup? I do wear makeup and what's the difference between wearing it for vacation of shopping at home?

Yikes! You’re already calling the fashion police on me after the first tip. I get the floral luggage for two reasons: easy to spot on the baggage carousel and if someone took off with it, I could quickly ID them. And my college roommate was named Madge. She still has tons of style.

I have an orchid color hard side Samsonite color. I can see them easily. I really like it. I also have a brown suitcase (I know, brown is yucky) I got it at Costco years ago and it's held up beautifully and when I carry it with my leather carry on bag it coordinates so well.

As a seasoned traveller, I think this video has excellent advice. My suitcase is hard-sided as suggested but it's purple for me to easily recognize it on the carousel or in a crowd (to prevent theft); I think such an obvious colour would not be Marie-Anne's subtle taste. :) It serves my purpose very well. I would like to add two points: 1) I put two light changes of clothes in my carry-on in case my one checked luggage gets lost. 2) I travel with a hair piece for 2 reasons: I can not leave my hair "au naturel" as suggested (I would so love to!) because my own hair is too fine, very thin and sparse. A preset wash and wear hair piece, 1/2 inch longer than my own few hairs is the ideal travel companion for me: wash and dry it and it's ready to go, no fuss no muss. It doesn't matter if I've perspired all day. After a shower and a "borrowed" hair wash, I look fresh as a daisy and ready to go out for dinner. The other reason for the hair piece is that it's cooler than a wig.

The „ugly“ floral suitcase that stands out in all the grey, black, blue pieces has its merits, though. One can easily detect it on the conveyor belt and it is less likely taken by a thief because they can‘t argue to have it mistaken for their own luggage if confronted.

You seem to have picked a very controversial topic here!! In my opinion there are many factors which influence travelling, so there are also many possible answers for what works for you.

These are good tips in general, but I would say that distinctive looking luggage is easier to spot on the baggage carousel and if a thief snags it at the airport. Also, depending on where one is traveling, wearing make-up and neatly groomed hair are preferable to the minimalist look you recommend.

Travel pro. Airlines employees use this brand. My set is at least ten years old with a lot of use. I added euro size carry on 2 years ago.

Nothing wrong with floral suitcases, even though I won’t buy one. But being stylish doesn’t have to be narrow minded, there is no right or wrong, just be yourself comfortably, you can make the style instead of following rules only. Also, there are plenty of unstylish, untasteful Frenches everywhere.

A button front shirt is going to be a wrinkled mess after 10-12 hours on a plane. I fly US to South Asia with some regularity and I always wear a tee-shirt, a long knit cardigan and nicer sport pants. I pack a second tee shirt in my carry-on and change when I get to my stop-over.

No everyone wants to buy hard shell suitcases. I used to travel with them but even the best quality ones break when stored at the bottom of the pile in the plane .Once you've had all your belongings exposed on the carousel you realise that the good quality soft shell ones do not break under the weight of other suitcases.

My chest will not allow any button down shirts. If I get one that won’t pucker or even unbutton when you lift your arms to say put a bag in the overhead bin. What’s an alternative.

I didn't notice that you said "in" instead of "with" but that was cute when your husband caught you.😄

I am a very frequent traveler, and I have traveled all over the world - with all due respect, I disagree (in some cases strongly) with much of the advice given here. Item 1 - suitcases. Unless you have a lot of money to buy the very high end luggage that comes with a lifetime warranty, it is a known fact (talk to travel experts and flight attendants/pilots) that soft sided luggage is generally better/more durable than hard side luggage. Also darker colored luggage generally hides dirt, scratches, etc., way better than light colored luggage. Theft prevention and ease of identifying your luggage should supersede “fashion” - that floral designed luggage will not be easily stolen. Hard side luggage can be easily broken into - I know this firsthand. 2- Hair dryer: it is hit or miss whether there will be a hair dryer in your room (even in some high end hotels). And there have been many occasions when the hairdryer that is there is in poor working order or does not enable the styling you need. Carrying a small, portable, lightweight one you are comfortable with eliminates the uncertainty. BTW - I use adapters all the time and have had no issues and today there are now all-in-one adapters available that eliminate the need for carrying several individual ones. 3/7 Hair and Makeup - On one hand you talk about dressing well and being fashionable but suggest that one eliminates routine hair and makeup prep?? Also, people who live in hot climates wear makeup and style their hair routinely, so why should travelers use temperature as a reason to change these personal routines? One dresses and applies makeup to feel good about one’s self - that does not disappear on vacation! 4 - Shoes. While I do not wear flip flops ever, there is nothing wrong with wearing them or other opened toed sandals for plane travel, especially if it is a long flight. Feet can swell and perspire- open toed shoes let feet breathe and relax better. Closed toe shoes can become tight and painful depending on your foot structure. Clogs, like flip flops, are a personal choice in my opinion. Comfort should be paramount, I believe, when choosing footwear for a plane flight and that is a very individual determination that should not be driven by fashion primarily. 5 - As with shoes, blankets versus shawls depends on how cold you get on planes. If you do not trust the blankets distributed on the plane, bring what you need (blanket or shawl/wrap) to be warm - fashion should not dictate this choice. 6 - T-shirt vs Buttoned collared shirt: Looking good when traveling is great, however, one needs to also be pragmatic. Wearing white or light colors is asking for trouble - makeup smears, coffee stains, water marks, food stains, dirt smudges, etc., - will all show up well. There are nice/dressy T-shirts which are acceptable in my opinion, especially on young people (I saw nothing problematic with the young person you showed in a designer type T-shirt). If you are a larger body size person, a buttoned down shirt with a collar will become uncomfortable and badly wrinkled on a long plane flight (I’ve seen it) and will show grease marks if you sweat. Once again, comfort and practicality need to be balanced with fashion here. 7 - Makeup. Refer to my previous comments above in 3/7. I do note that the statements made in the video correlating hot weather to not using makeup seems very Eurocentric. Women wear makeup year round in hot climates- they just use the appropriate makeup in the correct manner. Furthermore, 1- not all travelers originate from cold climates, and 2 - some people (women and men) may have certain issues that they prefer to cover up with makeup regardless of where they are living/visiting. A more helpful suggestion would be to provide information on what and how to adjust makeup when in hot climates/traveling, versus making the broad inference that “stylish” women do not need makeup when on vacation. 8 - I agree in principle about the bling - it attracts robbers to travelers. However, once again, a very Eurocentric statement is made in the video regarding being able to buy what you need. Not everyone will have the financial ability to do so, and one cannot always find what one needs/is looking for, depending on in which country/city you are vacationing. Pairing your jewelry to the outfits you take on travel is a better way to minimize how much you take while ensuring you have what you need.

Wearing your heaviest shoes and clothing means you can perhaps manage with only a cabin bag.

Hair care is a challenge when traveling, especially in the summer time, with the sun and possibly salt exposure. My hair turns into a frizzy mess in no time flat if I let it go natural. After a lot of trial and error, however, I have discovered that if I applied a small amount of Blue Magic (a grease for African American hair) to rinsed but abundantly wet hair, it helped trap the moisture from the conditioner in my hair. Further, I air dry it slowly (put the hair in braids for curls or a bun for waves). The hair is a tad bit sticky on the first day, but soft after that, and not dry. For a two week trip, all I need is a Carmex lipbalm tub full. Certainly takes less room than a blow dryer, round brush, and flattening iron. And much better for the hair.

And please no Pjs on the plane! Dressing comfortable doesn’t mean being a slob!

I completely relate to the makeup melting off the face in the Mexico heat. I used to live in Texas and summers were problematic, to use an understatement. When I go back and visit (never any later than May), my beauty care routine reduces to a stick of tinted high SPF sunscreen, brow pencil, an eyelash curler, lip balm, and lipstick.

I see people at the airport and some of the things they wear are hilarious 😊

Brightly colored luggage is easier to spot on the carousel flooded with black bags. I would never buy designer luggage, though. Why tempt thieves?

There is nothing I love more than buying what I need when I get to where I’m going. Wearing the style of clothing of the country I’m in makes me look like less of a tourist. I go with a 80% empty suitcase and comeback with wonderful items from my trip! It’s an adventure after all!

I agree with almost everything except my hair straightener I have the worst out of control natural hair I won’t even answer the door if it’s dried naturally. I look like a bag lady but once it’s straightened my hair is a perfect bob and it lasts for days.😂

I detest the hairdriers supplied by the hotels. Going natural is not an option if you have fine flat hair. I like my Dyson. Travelling in a white shirt a big no no. A stain accident waiting to happen. I agree about the suitcase being horrible along with the bling. The red suits you.

I bought a set of purple luggage just before 9/11. In 2009 I flew to JFK and had a nice taxi ride to Manhattan. A year later, I was back at JFK. A driver helped with my luggage to the car, and I remembered the last driver because of his cologne. He remembered me because of my luggage.

Because the temperature in the airplane can vary, I always wear a tank top under a zippered/button down shirt or light sweater. The second layer is never an item that I have to pull over my head. My travel outfit always includes items that I can wear during my trip as this requires less packing. I also never use the airplane blanket. My travel blanket folds into a pillow shape and is easy to attach to my carry in luggage. I’ve also used a shawl while travel. Great suggestions. Thank you!

It’s simple for me. …I’m not going!!! Travelling and the lead up to travelling gives me so much anxiety I rather wouldn’t do it.

I travel with a carry-on bag only. If it doesn’t fit in my carry-on, I don’t bring it.

Guess I'm more stylish than I thought I was. I practice all of these except the button down shirt. I never wear tshirts with words or designs but I do wear tshirt like blouses which slip over your head and have no buttons. However, I did just buy a beautiful white linen button down shirt to wear as a shirt, light jacket, and coverup. I love wearing my cashmere wraps on the plane. So useful, comfortable, and stylish. I am appalled at what I see people wearing on the plane. Do they have no self respect? Looking stylish and put together doesn't have to be expensive at all. It just takes thoughtfulness and a desire to represent yourself with elegance. On vacation I do go for the natural look and it is a blessing. Thank you for all you do to lead us down the path towards elegance and self respect.❤

Definitely a fan of a wool wrap and shoes that don't have to be taken off at security! But, for the long, long flights we Australians have to make, layers starting with a long sleeve knit top is maybe better than a button down shirt.

My husband and I took six weeks last summer and rode across the US on the Harley.....not all hotel rooms have a hairdryer, infact most hotel rooms do not have a hairdryer. Pack your hairdryer

Bardzo przydatny film 😎🏖 Pozdrawiam z Polski 💋

Hard shell suitcases take up a lot of room in a small hotel room. The hipper is in the middle so you have to open the case completely to access contents. The older style suitcase with the zipper on the edge of the suitcase allows you to flip open the top and takes up half the space in your room.

Wearing your travel pillow around your neck in the airport

I will be leaving for a 15 day trip to London/Norway in the near future. Because the majority of the trip will be a cruise, I have the advantage of only having to pack and unpack only a couple of times. I do use packing cubes in order to organize my outfits so I’m only pulling what I absolutely need to have until I’m on the cruise. All of that being said, I love your suggestions, but would also add that a crossbody bag to keep your essentials safe is also wise. I have a Lo and Sons leather crossbody, but for this trip I’m planning on taking a Travelon small crossbody as I will also be attending a concert in London at the Olympic Stadium which has size restrictions. The Travelon bag has the added safety feature of twist and lock lobster clips so it’s harder for a thief to just pickpocket any items out of my bag.

I would love to mention also, if you like to wear loafers sickles or tennis or certain shoes sickles or don't like the elastic around your leg or ankles in flight... Flat Socks. I love those so much. They fit like an insole, add a bit of padding and you wash them like socks. And you don't skink your favorite shoes wearing them without socks. Or those little ballet flats... perfect. So nice.

So your viewers know, there are 2 things you need to have for safe energy usage in a foreign country. (1) the plug adapter…the prongs are different AND (2) the VOLTAGE of the item. People ALWAYS seem to forget the 2nd of the 2. Just have a plug adapter is never enough.

I wear a pair of black stretch dress trousers, a pastel short-sleeved shell, and a cardigan when I travel, with a pair of black loafers. I pack a pashmina (rolled into a cylinder and held with hair ties) in my carry-on, along with a spare set of undies and a different t-shirt. I'm prepared for just about anything ordinary travel can throw at me.

Hmmm. I have to say that I dislike hard cases to travel with. Since I take only 1 bag on any trip, I have 3 sizes of quality luggage - totally unmatched and not the same brand. I pick the one most suited to the trip. I don’t think there is anything wrong with a floral or paisley set of luggage… they are a wink to your personal style and whimsey. I think I travel as a smart-chic lady. I am dressed very practically for where I’m going. I’m usually wearing my chosen coat and biggest shoes so neither needs to be packed. Shoes that will be comfortable despite the swelling airplanes cause. I will be wearing something with pockets so all travel documents are handy and on my person. And I carry a school-sized backpack because I don’t check anything I can’t afford to lose (electronics, chargers, money, jewelry, glasses, ID, plus one full change of clothes) Vraiment pratique, n’est pas?

I bought a Monos brand hard sided carry-on for my last European trip and for the first time I had packing cubes and I traveled for three weeks in all kinds of locations with just the smallest Monos bag in ocean blue and a beautiful Away everywhere bag in coast blue. I was so pleased with both of my choices!

Anytime I travel during non-summer seasons, I wear a sweater dress with tights/thin leggings and boots. The only disadvantage is getting through TSA, but there are advantages: Room in my luggage for smaller shoes. Warmer on flights. More protective if raining at destination. Stylish.

For the plane, I layer my serums and creams for hydration. Lipgloss and some eyeliner and spf for the vacation.

Samantha Brown Luggage ,practical, affordable, waterproof, and attractive.

As I see it, if you have a good flattering hair cut, you don't need hair dryers and curling irons on a regular basis. I just use a hair dryer to quickly dry my hair if I'm in a rush.

Bright colors and unique patterns make your luggage easy to spot on the carousel. I would take those gaudy flowers in a heartbeat. My classic black bag looks like every other bag on the line and I have to keep ribbons and colorful tags attached just to find it.

I have very long hair down past my waist and I travel quite a bit. I always wear my hair up in a bun and put on a thick headband that covers most of my head when I travel because I am scared of getting lice from the plane :0 I am not sure if this would actually even help, but I get grossed out thinking about my hair touching the seats and headrests where so many others have sat. I also always travel with a mini bottle of dry shampoo.
